it is clear they're making energy energy less expensive. the average level as cost entering service in 2017 according to the department of energy, if they are field by natural gas, this cost $66 per megawatt hour. for wind, $96 per megawatt hour. for solar power $153 per megawatt hour. five years ago when the energy loan guarantee program was put in place and many of these subsidies for solar and wind, we didn't know we were sitting at 200 years of inexpensive natural gas. so maybe it was logical for people to think we need to be independent or as independent as we can be of the middle east. in fact, the first president to claim the phrase energy independent was richard nixon, a republican. so maybe it was logical to think if we make our own energy, we'll be more independent and self-sufficient. but this is before we found we had all this inexpensive natural gas around $2.75 send. so now we are in the middle the new american energy revolution. we found that we have all this. as john maynard keynes once said, when the facts change, i change
